Comparison of hand, thermal and optical properties of woven fabrics made of triangular and circular shaped filaments

삼각사와 원형사로 제직된 직물의 태, 열적성질 및 광학적 성질의 비교

The handle of fabrics including tactility and sense of visuality are closely related to the factors governing the preferences of end-users. This study shows the change of mechanical properties, thermal properties and optical properties by comparing two fabrics which are woven with circular shaped filaments and with triangular ones. The fabric mechanical characteristics required for primary hand values were evaluated with the KES-FB system. The mechanical properties measured by KES-FB system shows that fabrics made of circular filaments are greater than those made of triangular ones. The thermal properties measured by KES-F7(Thermo Labo II) system shows that the values of the initial maximum value(qmax) and the thermal conductivity(λ) are higher in the fabric made of triangular shaped ones. When the light rays tall on a surface, the fabric made of triangular filaments shows more lustrous than circular ones.

직물의 태는 손으로 만져 보았을 때 느껴지는 감촉, 육안으로 느껴지는 감각, 그리고 직물의 물리적 역학적 성질 등이 함께 어울어져 이루어지는 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 폴리에스테르 원형사와 삼각사로 제직된 직물의 태와 온/냉감 및 광택도를 측정하였다. 삼각단면사로 제직된 직물이 원형단면사로 제직된 직물보다 더 좋은 태를 보였으며 열전달계수가 크게 나타나 냉감을 느낄 수 있었으며 높은 반사율을 보였다.
